Thank you for providing the dmesg, it would be very hard to reply without it.
You are running OpenBSD 5.1-release that was frozen on March 12th 2012. Unfortunately the setperf code in OpenBSD only recognized the Atom E660 chip used in net6501 a week later, on March 18th 2012, so 5.1 doesn't support setting it on net6501. Your best bet is to use a -current snapshot until 5.2 is released in November. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:soekris-tech- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh > Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 6:16 AM > To: [email protected] > Cc: Mitja Muženič; Stuart Henderson > Subject: Re: [Soekris] Soekris 6501-70 / 6501-50 Network Throughput > under Debian / OpenBSD > > Hello, > I have difficulties getting the command to work: > soekris~# sysctl hw.setperf=100 > sysctl: hw.setperf: value is not available > > Running GENERIC.MP i386 on soekris 6501-70 (attached is a dmesg) > > Have you modified the kernel to get hw.setperf option? > > Cheers, > > On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 7:33 PM, David Coppa <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 1:30 PM, Mitja Muženič <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > >> > >>> -----Original Message----- > >>> From: [email protected] [mailto:soekris-tech- > >>> [email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Henderson > >>> Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2012 1:21 PM > >>> To: [email protected] > >>> Subject: Re: [Soekris] Soekris 6501-70 / 6501-50 Network Throughput > >>> under Debian / OpenBSD > >>> > >>> Replying to an old(ish) post. > >>> > >>> On 2011-12-14, Josh <[email protected]> wrote: > >>> > Is there any way to improve the network throughput under OpenBSD? > >>> > >>> Some more information came to light... > >>> Here's a workaround until it can be fixed: > >>> > >>> sysctl hw.setperf=0 > >>> sysctl hw.setperf=100 > >> > >> Actually just the latter one is enough: > >> > >> echo "sysctl hw.setperf=100" >> /etc/rc.local > > > > Or "hw.setperf=100" >> /etc/sysctl.conf > > > > ciao, > > david _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
